my dad was raised a jw and though he isn't a jw (because he hasn't passed all of their tests) he insists on "converting" me.
we constantly debate over my beliefs and his beliefs.
the jw have so many strange beliefs in blows my mind.
Run run as fast as you can away from this dangerours cult.As has been said they will control you, they want your money.Yes maybe they give the rags away but they pass resolution at their meeting for donations to the WBTS.And if you don't do as the gestapo says they give you the boot.Goodbye family, friends, business, your house, kids, dog boy you are totally f#@@#.

Very good review.Q12/13 If a JW confesses to something or questions FDS/GB?And the gestapo,the 3 elders j.c.take him into the torture chamber and beat a confession out of him.The JW repents,why don't they show him mercy.Instead they kick him out and disfellowship him.
Disaster.I believe they have a AAKF the WBTS inhouse insurance.They get bang for their buck.
Q17 Its like 2k years people have been waiting for a new system.

so after the revelation study last night where the paragraph was talking about how russell's interpertation of revelation basically didn't work and got discarded, my wife comments with the same old,"the light gets brigther, that's why i respect fds because at least they will change when they figure out something is wrong.
" (insert vomit here) afterwards, me and the book study conductor(i have to at least give him credit, he is someone i can talk to freely about my questions and he has not,as of yet, turned me in) got into a discussion of what 'the light gets brighter' really means.
he basically says so the brothers have made changes, so what?
Yeah,JW are quick to stick up for the mistakes of the FDS/GB.When the FDS/GB said the 1914 greneration would not past away before the end and told the R&F to preach this this message to the people as truth.In the 70's and 80's I said they were full of shit because the end would not come.Of course I was the one totally wrong for not following the direction of the warped FDS/GB.The R&F followed and done exactly what FDS said.Who was right not me according to the FDS and R&F because the FDS is GOD spirit anointed ORG.Did the light get brighter in 1995 because of the Bible truth or the 1995 generation died.TOTAL BULLSHIT.Only 12 years later the light really got bright because they are about to change it again.Yeah wait a few more years for a new change and you will be looking in God face and die.

i remember being a pioneer and telling people how stupid they were for believing in a "burning hell.".
the analogy they told us to use was..... "if you had a small child and they were bad could you take that child and put it's hand over a flame and burn it's flesh and hold his hand there....dispite his screams and his pain?".
of course the answer was always...."no".
marmot. Ask him why didn't JW help kill Nazi Hilter.This maniac killed JW that is their brother/sisters.

the one mistake we all made.
and the january 15, 2008 watchtower.
page 24 the governing body makes the following statement: .
oompa you are good.Why inspect the SLAVE only in 1919 and make the appointments only than.
Bob
bro jackson.
indicates total destruction of the wicked system and its spirit.. we (the anointed) are prepared for that day.
they didnt see the whole picture and only had a limited perspective so they lost confidence in jehovah and moses.
Thanks for the info,Randy."We( WBTS) aren't always right" You got that right GB's."It is the Holy Spirit that helps us to find the correct understanding"You morons,your Holy Spirit is full of crap.The Bible has the correct understanding Ex. on BLOOD.That is just one area and there are so many areas that you and your Holy Spirit are wrong.The Generation,how many times are you dip sticks gone to change it.Do you really know what you are talking about.L#@$T^*>

once you see "one" year, all 4 seasons, it's the same every year.
in the summer time, it's hot, in th fall, the colors are nice, in the winter it's cold, in the spring, the snow melts, and it starts all over year after year.. it's the same thing with a human life.
a man or woman lives some 70 or 80 years, then its over.. what is god waiting for to bring his new system, "paradise" ?.
Hear,Hear

i have absolutely no idea how to get through to some people.... i mentioned the 1935 change to a jw, and told him that i'd seen the change coming... it was a logical progression, not a revelation from god to the fds.... his response ?.
"i've also had changes revealed to me before the fds makes the change, it just goes to show that jehovah reveals it to his people and that the witnesses have the truth.".
aaaaargh !!!!.
AlphaOmega said 'I have absolutely no idea how to get through to some people" I know you meant brain washed wacko R&F.Look when the 1914 generation was in vogue these brainless people said the GB/FDS used the Bible to explain this prophesy.When they changed the Bible prophesy(1914 generation) the whipmasters C.O./D.O. said at CA/SAD/DC.Do you question the faithful slave providing proper food at the proper time?If you do, you are questioning God himself.Now we don't want to question God do we,of course not.These wee brain people accept what ever shit comes down the pipe from these assholes in N.Y.H.Q'S.You have no chance of getting through these wee brain people.Maybe with a brain transplant.

last may, i finally admitted to myself that i am an atheist.
to me, being an atheist means that i don't believe any of the silly nonsense that puny humans have come up with.
many of the religions of man were started during a time when mental illnesses went undiagnosed and misunderstood, a time when man couldn't explain why lightning struck the earth or why rain fell.
I look at the universe and say, so what.I enjoy what's out there,share that joy and when I'am gone, so what.THE END.

i received my copy of barbara andersons cd paedophilia in an american religion a month or two ago, and i have been reading through it since.. what follows, although i have called this a review, is in no sense a scholarly consideration of the legal merits of the cases described, a task for which i am wholly unqualified.
these are, rather, my subjective reflections on the material presented, the impressions i gathered while reading the legal filings, my untrained, common-man appraisal of the cases laid out in those documents.
ill also admit to being swayed by tone of voice adopted, and to using my own common-sense yardstick in determining the reasonableness of the statements made, the responses given and the arguments put forward.
Very good Duncan,Thanks.I'am wondering if the Lawyers aren't positioning themselves to take over this profitable Company.With all the changes ie Generation/anointed/fds/gb,kicking out all the poor olders workers.It seem the R&F are totally in the dark because they would not dare look, touch or read B.Andersons book or anything published other than WT junk.
